Observational analysis shows high pathogenicity of fusarium sambucinum in infected potatoes, highlighting the variability in pathogenicity across regions.
Key Points
Fusarium sambucinum was found to be the most dominant species causing dry rot in potatoes.
Pathogenicity tests revealed that fusarium sambucinum was highly pathogenic to the potato cultivar Kufri Pukhraj.
The study analyzed 55 dry rot samples and retrieved 53 fusarium isolates for characterization.
Ecogeographical variability influences the pathogenicity of fusarium species affecting potato crops.
